Braxton Ashcraft continues to roll. The Pirates right-hander tossed eight innings of one-run baseball on just 80 pitches as Pittsburgh beat the Detroit Tigers 4-1.
Tyler, DiNardo and Doug break down another dominant and incredibly efficient Ashcraft outing, Oneil Cruz returning to the lineup with a 422-foot home run, the Pirates doing just enough offensively, and Mason Montgomery continuing to look like a legitimate late-inning weapon.
